Pagalinanda demonstrates the Naga Practice of ‘penis yoga’ in his den near the cremation grounds of Pashupatinath. This practice is based on the complete transcendence of sexual impulses. After this, the yogi is truly initiated during a ritual in which certain nerves of the penis are broken, enabling him to "lift" rocks weighing over 100 pounds. However, the initiation ceremony for this practice makes it highly unlikely he will ever have another erection. 2001.

A group of sadhus engage in an austerity called the panch-agni-tapasya, or five fire practice, in which pieces of burning cow dung are placed around the Sadhu as he meditates or performs hatha yoga. Over a cycle of eighteen years, the Sadhu increases the number of fires from five at the beginning to a full ring complete with a pot of burning cow dung on the head by the end. During this austerity, usually practiced during the height of summer heat, the Sadhus ability to remain focused on his chosen mantra and deity is severely tested.Pashupatinath, Kathmandu, Nepal.
